Early on in your career, it’s important to conform, to put your head down and work hard, and to learn from those who have been around longer than you have. But at some point in your career, it’s not only useful to break convention, it’s almost essential for success. The non-conformers, the out-of-the-box thinkers, those are the ones who are great visionaries and great leaders. They are the most successful problem solvers because they are able to see solutions that others don’t even imagine.

As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
Love cannot be imposed Stalkers speak of love, which in a few minutes turns deadly when they are rejected by the woman.
